i am looking for a spring lower than pro kit that has the best ride quality and handling ability. i know the pro kit is a good quality ride with a decent drop, but the more i look at the lower ride, the more i like it.
has anyone here tried both? the magnets are a little cheaper, but thats not a problem. im pretty sure darkstars used to have the sportlines, but i cant remember.
so which one has the best ride quality and handling ability despite the low ride, that also compares to the quality of the pro kit?
and yes, ive searched, but nothing that actually compares the two.
thanx in advanced

without the proper struts, both suck. i say get road magnets and dspecs
i got d-specs and sportlines on mine...thou the ride seems ruff on crappy roads, i gotta say i love it so much
and still do not rub on 17s
RIP JESSE GERARD.....Youll always be in my thoughts and prayers...
If you're gonna spend the money for good struts, you might as well get some Eibach Sportlines then, or even start thinking about some Ground Control coilover inserts.
I've considered switching from Sportlines to Road Magnets following the reports of better ride. I'm not convinced there are any quality issues there.

I'll buy the pro-kit if you have a set and dont want them!
yeah as you said in your orignal post, darkstars is the only one i konw thats had both and raced w/ both.
thanx for all the info guys. i think enough people have tried them out and really liked them to help my decision. i also found the thread where they sent darkstars a set of magnets and he ended up keeping them.

I'm bias towards Eibach, my pro-kits and konis road like stock.

The sportlines are a stiffer spring rate, the sportlines handle a bit better and the road magnets ride nicer. One big advantage with the sportlines is they have the rubber coating shrunk onto the tight would coils of the springs... the road magnets do not. I'm thinking thats the reason for the clunk from the rear on the road megnets to be so common. All in all, I prefer the road magents.
so what u are saying is, the sportlines are better for daily drivin, and the road magnets are better for racing? and is there some kind of insert or anything to eliminate the clunk on the magnets?

you have it backwards.
the Road magnets are the more comfortable ride, sits low but rids nice. A clunk in the rear is common (all though its 100% eliminated on my car now because of the wieght from the stereo)
the sportlines are more performance orriented of the 2
oh ok, i gotcha. i do much more daily driving than anything else, at least for now. i believe the road magnets are a good way to go. thanx
